How does the shape of the worm change as it move

Biology

In earthworms, each segment can move independently, so that alternating contractions between the two different sets of muscles in many different segments create shape changes all along the body. This produces accordion-like body movements that help the worm push through soil and maneuver through small spaces within

When the circular muscles contract, the earthworm stretches, becoming longer and thinner. The earthworm uses its setae to anchor the front of its body in the soil. Now the longitudinal muscles contract and the earthworm becomes shorter and wider or it bends from one side to the other, pulling the body forward.

The assisted transport of a molecule across the cell membrane without expenditure of energy is
Ghella [55]
The assisted transport of a molecule through the cell membrane in deprived of expenditure of energy is facilitated transport. It transports molecules via specific trans membrane integral proteins because of being passive the facilitated transport does not directly require chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis in the conveyance step itself but rather molecules and ions move down their concentration gradient.

List five proteins of the myofilaments and describe their physical arrangement
alex41 [277]

The five proteins of the myofilaments are the following:

<span>1.  </span>Myosin, shaped like a golf club, with two polypeptides intertwined to form a shaftlike tail and a double globular head, or cross-bridge, projecting from it at an angle.

<span>2. </span>Fibrous actin is like a bead necklace—a string of subunits called globular (G) actin. Each G actin has an active site that can bind to the head of a myosin molecule.

<span>3. </span>Tropomyosin. It blocks the active sites of six or seven G actins and prevents myosin cross-bridges from binding to them when a muscle fiber is relaxed.

<span>4. </span>Troponin a smaller calcium-binding protein bound to each tropomyosin molecule.

<span>5. </span>Titin (connectin), run through the core of a thick filament, emerge from the end of it, and connect it to a structure called the Z disc.

The oceans cover about 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Ocean water contains salts and we say that ocean water has a certain s
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The salt in the oceans comes from weathering and the erosion of the earth's crust.

Explanation:

The weathering can be described as the breaking down of rocks.

During the weathering of rocks, minerals will be dissolved from the land and salt is one of them. These minerals (salt included) will then be delivered into the oceans by erosion of the Earth's crust.

Erosion can be aided by wind, ice or water. Erosion removed weathered materials. When these weathered materials are removed, new materials (rocks) will be exposed to weathering thereby promoting continuous weathering processes

Which of the following stages of the water cycle is most likely to be occurring on a clear Sunny hot day
Anettt [7]

Evaporation

Explanation:

On a hot sunny day, the stage of water cycle most likely occurring is the evaporation stage.

At this stage, a phase change is occurring and liquid water is converted to water vapor in the atmosphere.

  • Evaporation is an important aspect of the water cycle.
  • It is preceded by precipitation and followed by condensation in the atmosphere.
  • Water rises from the surface in gaseous forms and condenses in the atmosphere.
  • This is because it is less dense than the surrounding atmosphere.
